Dear Dominic Cummings.....

...it has come to my notice that you are looking for "weirdos and misfits" to work on your team of advisers; well, I present the perfect candidate. 
She is too old to find a proper job, too young to die, too stupid - in spite of having two degrees - to be an academic and too lazy to do anything else. Like I said, the perfect candidate. Her proposal for a better society is nothing short of revolutionary, but since you need new ideas, here it is.  It is called simply, social inclusion and this is how it works: 
1. Everyone will live in a decent, affordable dwelling.
2. Everyone will have an incontrovertible right to food, fuel and clothing - no resorting to charities or food banks. 
3. Everyone will have access to decent healthcare - not just fertility treatment - but do read on. It gets weirder. 
4. Everyone will have access to education at every level, from nursery to PhD, with no so-called tuition fees involved or other financial penalties.
5. Everyone will have access to work or training, right through life.
6. No one will be made suffer because of being poor, disabled, lean, fat, bald, short, stupid, tall, black, white or foreign.
  Like I said, revolutionary. But you are looking for misfits, are you not?  So, how about it, Mr C ?  Send me that magic job contract forthwith and together, you and I will be a national tour de force, sincerely, etc.
